Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thyroid hormone is the hormone that controls your body’s metabolism, the process in which your body transforms the food you eat into energy. The two main hormones your thyroid releases-thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3 )-collectively make up thyroid hormone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The thyroid gland is regulated by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). In addition to TRH/TSH regulation by TH feedback, there is central modulation by nutritional signals, such as leptin, as well as peptides regulating appetite.
Detailed explanation-3: -The thyroid gland regulates metabolism by producing and secreting hormones into your bloodstream.
